Love & Marriage

In the month we all associate with weddings it's interesting to know that on June 3, 1989, 52 year-old Rolling Stone bass guitarist Bill Wyman married his 19 year-old girlfriend, Mandy Smith. The New York Daily News later reported that Wyman’s 28 year-old son was dating Smith’s 40 year-old mother. If they too had married, Wyman’s wife would have been her own stepmother-in-law and Wyman would have been his son’s stepson-in-law.

The Stones appear eleven times in A Book of Ages, the Who five times, the Beatles fourteen times, Bob Dylan seven times, Michael Jackson five times, Eric Clapton and Joni Mitchell four times apiece, Jerry Garcia six, Simon and Garfunkel six and five times respectively, Bruce Springsteen and Brian Wilson once each.
